Can a player in "Pass & Play" surrender without the game ending?

[obtuse escarp]

If not, does it have a purpose?
And what could we do if someone doesnt want to play the match anymore?
Does someone else simply play that player?
What are your suggestions to handle this?

If you wanted to use as close to board game rules as possible, each remaining player should take 1 turn playing as the player that left

It's probably easier to just place all their troops as far out of the way as possible so can just keep skipping phases for them otherwise though

Thanks for the reply. Is there a reason why there is no option to surrender and getting taken over by AI?

I don't know

So unhelpful
